Gerald Coetzee<\/a>, the South Africa fast-bowling allrounder, has been signed up by Sunrisers Hyderabad<\/a> (SRH) as an injury replacement for David Payne<\/a> for the remainder of IPL 2026<\/a>. He will join SRH for INR 2 crore.<\/p>\n

Payne, the 35-year-old left-arm quick, conceded 70 runs from five overs across two matches before he was ruled out of the tournament<\/a> with an ankle injury. Payne himself had come into the SRH squad as a replacement for Australia’s Jack Edwards, who withdrew before the start of the competition with a foot injury.<\/p>\n

Coetzee, who was last in action in South Africa’s five-match T20I series in New Zealand in March, and played a starring role in their win in the fourth game with 3 for 31, has played in the IPL in the past: with Mumbai Indians (MI) in 2024, when he picked up 13 wickets in ten games, and with Gujarat Titans (GT) in 2025, when he got two wickets in four games.<\/p>\n

SRH have also lost Brydon Carse, the England allrounder, to a hand injury. Carse had suffered a blow during a net session at the start of the 2026 season and did not play a game for SRH, who brought in Sri Lanka quick Dilshan Madushanka as a replacement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The good news for SRH, who are at No. 5 on the points table with two wins from five games, is that Pat Cummins has been cleared<\/a> to join them after undergoing scans on his back in Sydney. Cummins has not played so far this season and could target a comeback against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Jaipur on April 25.<\/p>\n

SRH’s next fixture is against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at home in Hyderabad on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gerald Coetzee, the South Africa fast-bowling allrounder, has been signed up by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) as an injury…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":614339,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-614338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/614338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=614338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/614338\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/614339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=614338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=614338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=614338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
